NBA 2K11 Demo Roundtable

[rudeworld]

I remember that. That's a teaser. A trailer is longer and more in depth. A commercial is a 30 second video advertisement and a game demo is ...well I dont see the point of arguing syntax...

If people know its the game to get, as I said previously it has Jordan, what does the marketing team have to lose by keeping features in?

This demo won't turn away fans. It may confuse new customers. That's why I ask, what is the point of stripping it down? Most of the people downloading it are the core base customers, why not give them a treat like other companies are doing? Obviously this strategy is exclusive to 2K, show me another sports title this stripped down.

So if you cant figure out whats going on in the mind of the marketing team, don't knock down those of us whom find issue with this unnecessary and uncalled for stripped down demo.

maybe you have a point....but if you read some of these post in this and 2ks forum where people are wanting to try out the game, so 2k gave us a shot. if there is such a thing as a rushed demo this maybe it...
...also with all this info thats coming out each and everyday the "demo" is doing its part in advertising the game.

im sure this has already been said


but they need to fix the transitiion from doing the dribble set up moves left trigger into a shot
something is messed up in the animations

other than that GREAT

Re: NBA 2K11 Demo Roundtable

I think I need more practice with the demo because I always try to cross over Ray Allen and it never works! The only thing I can successfully do is a spin around the defender.

Re: NBA 2K11 Demo Roundtable

people complaining about bare bones demo and probably cant even get the isomoves down[I know I can't thats why I'm practicing] that's what I see it as a practice/gameplay demo. You have to learn how to crawl before you walk and that is what this demo is focusing on to me. So when Oct. 5th hits you can jump right in, kick arse, and then enjoy all the rest of the bells and whistles the game will offer.

maybe that's just me though :shruggs:

good job 2k

i was a bit dissappointed by the player face inaccuracies, thought they'd be better.

Re: NBA 2K11 Demo Roundtable

you wouldnt believe how many people still by ea's game when 2k is much better. And the demo 2k put out does not help 2k get more people over from ea's game or new people to video game b-ball. the demo is for the hard core players you have to know how to play 2k to enjoy the demo. you give that demo to someone new and they cant do the move and become frustrated. i would love for 2k to kill ea an get NFL2k back

I'm one of those people you speak of Carrington. I do not like the 2k brand of basketball at all. each year i play it hoping they will change the game play some how but it just never seems to happen. the presentation changes ALOT from year to year but the game play is still very slow and non responsive. when i read reviews on here from people saying they love how real it plays i go back and play the demo again and i just dont see it.

while i can acknowledge most people prefer the 2k games Ive. always through the years had more fun playing EA's games not because they are super realistic, but because i just plain have more fun on those games.

Am I the only one who thinks Andrew Bynum looks really off? But other than that the demo is really solid

[DaChiefs]

I agree...about the demo being solid, and Bynum does look really off.

2k shouldve re-did or upgraded every players face becus Ray Allen still looks 80 yrs old and Kobe stll has that boney skeleton face smh welp! maybe next year!!!

thats how kobe looks like man

Im still amazed that good presentation wipes away the fact that there are almost no physics in this game to speak of. Don't get me wrong the game is beautiful. The presentation is spot on; players look, act and play like themselves. 2k managed to capture the feel of the NBA perfectly. This almost wipes away the fact that much of the time I feel I'm watching the game and not participating. Kobe's vast array of dribble moves only make me realize that I'm not controlling the dribble as much as triggering animations. How can this be sports game of the year when you are barely controlling it. Best representation of a sport yes! SGOY sorry no. I know I'm being critical but it's the only way we'll see the game get better. If we keep accepting glossy over gameplay 2k's gonna keep shoveling reboots of the 2k10 down our throats.

I'm relatively the same way. Even though I've been balling with 2k for a little under 4 years, I would still jump ship immediately if EA made a spectacular game. Even though 2k has been good this gen, It still seems foreign to me, where as live 10 I felt at home with its demo and gameplay.

With its presentation, EA has always presented itself with real presentation. They don't bring in foreign people to do half time reports or someone like a clark kellog to go alongside a well known nba/nfl commentator.

That's not a dig at 2k, but imo, it does take away from the game.

I don't know, that's personally just me.

I HATE THIS STUPID CAMERA ANGLE.. cant see the floor like i need to, espescially when theres a loose ball i have no idea where the ball is going(if its goin toward or away from the camera). this demo is pretty lacking. i cant wait for the game to come out though, it looks sweet... i also noticed that the players DONT TRAVEL as they go up for a dunk/lay up!! i used to hate that on 2k10...

Dude 2k accels in presentation they've been known for that but they also blow minds in gameplay they got mike wang who helped live 10 which some believe was the best in the series thanksto him dude theres contact in that entire demo even when you dunk now theres contact what physics are you talking about just cause real time physics isn't slapped on the back of the game dosen't mean its not there because Ea's Rtp is nothing but a gimmick thats been in 2k all along.

http://www.operationsports.com/forum...ysicality.html check this thread before you talk about physics cause you might not know exacty what that other game has. Secondly

Mike Wang has gone on record to say "NBA 2k has used physics to determine animation selection for years now", How is this much different than what has been done before in this series and others "?
